| Aanvullende informatie |
The Armorican peninsula — roughly modern Brittany and Normandy — hosted a dense cluster of small tribal confederacies whose coin production was largely independent of the better-documented Belgic and central Gaulish issues. Attribution within this group remains genuinely contested; DT 3429 sits in a zone where the typological boundaries between the Curiosolites, Osismii, and several unnamed groups have never been cleanly resolved. The horseman motif on these fractional silvers appears to derive ultimately from Macedonian prototypes filtered through several generations of Gaulish stylistic transformation.
Fractional silver circulated alongside the dominant potin coinage in this region, likely serving specific exchange functions that bronze couldn't meet.
